Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of the linear equation.

y=−3−14x

Answer 1

slope is -(1/4) and y intercept is -3

Answer 2

This equation is written in slope-intercept form just backwards. We can rewrite this equation as:

y = -1/4x - 3

Using what we know about this type of equation (y = mx + b) we know that:

m = slope

b = y-intercept

In this equation the slope and y-intercept are given.

The slope is -1/4 and the y-intercept is -3.
